Big Fishing Creek

Big Fishing Creek Stream Report

Date:

Water Level / Clarity: Gage height: 3.09 ft | green

Water Temp: high 40's

Fishing Overview

Fishing creek is up high and off color, expect levels to rise in the next few days with incoming rain and snow...boooo...
Dry-fly action has been wonky with the up and down weather but we should be seeing see bwo, grannom and hendos on the warmer days. Nymphing has been productive with smaller olive nymphs working well. Streamers will move fish with the off-color water.

Specific Tips

Fishing Creek fish are notorious for hiding under rocks and eating sub-surface, stick with nymphs unless you see fish actively feeding on top. Cover water! If deep pools aren't producing try slow shallow seams.
